Also known as the lower back, this contains 5-6 vertebrates stacked on top of each other with cushions in between. This section of the back functions along with the rest of the spine but is also used in distribution of stress which is why it can be injured so easily.
Scoliosis of the lumbar spine is an abnormal sideways curve in the spine of the lower back.
The lumbar spine controls many parts of your body. The spine has numerous nerve connections to all the organs in your body. If your lumbar spine is damaged it can harm different organs.
Attachment of the ligaments that hold the vertebrae together and the muscles that move them
"Lumbar spine is in gross anatomic alignment" means that the lumbar region of the spine (the lower back) is positioned correctly without significant deviations or misalignments. This indicates that the vertebrae are aligned properly in relation to one another, which is essential for maintaining proper function and reducing the risk of injury or pain. In a healthy lumbar spine, the natural curves are preserved, and the alignment supports overall spinal health.
lumbar vertebrae
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
Lumbar rotary levoscoliosis is a deformity of the spine. This causes a curvature of the spine that may also cause the ribs and lumbar area to be rotated slightly.
The lumbar section of a typical human spine contains five vertebrae, known as L1 to L5.
